Hawkins expected Maven to be biggest rival

2009-04-03 15:03:56

Brian 'SNo0oWMAN' Hawkins has claimed he thought Dovid 'The Maven' Melech would be his closest rival in the Bluff Poker Challenge.

In an interview with Bluff Magazine, Hawkins - who eventually won the online sit n' go (SNG) and MTT competition - stated that he was expecting Melech to grind for 15 hours each day and "just run away with it".

However, after seeing that he was up by only $20 after playing about 150 SNGs and then observing him register for a $1 event, he realised he was not going to be a threat.

"Once I saw that I could tell he wasn't gonna get anywhere too fast. I think he took too much of a conservative approach," he remarked.

Hawkins finished with more than $25,000 in winnings after playing 698 events, with Garrett 'Gbecks' Beckman his closest rival on $4,811.

Merech is not mentioned on the top 20 leaderboard.
